No more saber heroes after Anakin

Replies

There is one generalisation you can make, and that is any member who posts issues about Lando's pansexuality, uses the words "Social Justice Warrior"etc, is a phobic bigot, and likely even more socially inept in person than they are here.

However...

I do like the idea of Embo (would we include his hound? As an ability, perhaps?) and of course Dengar needs to hand out a few dirt naps, but what's really imperative is a flyer like Boba for the LS.

(I am so sad R2 - arguably the biggest hero in SW filmdom is so overlooked in these games. Sure it would be hilarious, but my defining moments in BF1 came with the DS expansion DLC when I got to play as R2.)

On a serious though, Sabine Wren is the only one I can think of as a justifiable LS flyer, but she's so bo-ho-or-ring in Rebels and my least favourite character in that spin off.

Didn't Plo Koon have a jet pack in Clone Wars, though?

I think the one or two episodes with Captain Rex using a jump pack could justify his inclusion as a Bob-foil.

Not a chance. Yes light saber combat needs work, but this game also needs positive publicity. Lightsaber heroes will always be a draw, and there's still some big names left to do.

You got to do better for a list though. Nute Gunrey?!? Most of this list is just going to be a generic blaster hero with the exception of Embo, Chirrut, Jango, and maybe Baze.

Best blaster list to me is:

Sabine Wren with Darksaber

Padme Amidala (highly popular)

Captain Rex

Aurra Sing (sniper)

Cad Bane

Lats Razzi

Embo

Jango Fett

Chirrut Imwe

Baze Malbus

Dengar

IG-88

Who is Lats Razzi?

It's actually Latts Razzi. My mistake on the name.

Latts Razzi is a bounty hunter that ran with Boba Fett's crew in Clone Wars along with Dengar, Highsinger, and Bossk. According to Wookieepedia, she's a Theelin female. She has a scaled grappling boa which she often uses like a whip to grapple enemies, and of course she's good with a blaster and hand to hand combat.

She was in the episode Bounty when Ventress teamed up with Boba Fett's crew. Boba Fett, Dengar, Bossk, Highsinger, Latts Razzi, and Ventress went on the mission.

Later in season 5, when Maul and Savage Oppress with Death Watch attacked the Hutts, the Hutts had paid several bounty hunters for protection including Embo, Sugi, Latts Razzi, and Dengar.

We just need a good, new lightsaber combat system. Shooters are boring.

Why are you playing a shooter then?

idk, its technically a shooter, but this game is as much action game as shooter. Just like Uncharted is considered an action game when you do a lot of shooting in it, and it has a multiplayer. There's so many action game type elements to this game, that it blurs the line imo. A lot of times it's not much different than say playing Starkiller in Force Unleashed.

idk, Dengar got worked over good in Clone Wars. lol He got tossed off a train by some space ninjas in Bounty and wasn't much of a match for Maul, Savage Oppress, and Pre Visla on Nal Hutta. Embo, Sugi and Latts Razzi were the ones dishing it out. Embo and Sugi actually held their own against Maul and Savage for a bit.

Bossk got kicked off the train too, if it's gonna be like that.

True, so did Highsinger and Latts Razzi. Who didn't? Ventress. She tossed the ninjas, captured their leader, choked out Boba and put him in the box instead of the hostage, then got paid by the ninja leader to let them go on top of her bounty cut lol.

Ventress was one bad woman. Not one to mess with unless your top shelf Jedi or Sith. lol

Power levels are not really what gauges interest character-wise IMO

Depends on the character. For the most popular characters from the movies, it obviously doesn't. When you get into the lesser known ranks and cameos, it does. Blaster heroes will need some kind of gameplay advantage or unique traits like Aurra Sing being a sniper and female, Embo with his agility and shield/hat, Mandalorian armor, Latts Razzi with her scaled grappling boa, etc.

I believe that ray is the daughter of the dark clone. Because it makes sense time wise.

Dark clone, or Galen is around 22ish at end of game 2. That was during episode 4. We know that episode 5-6 take around 10 years to complete. That fits with the fact the Ray was around 8 when she is on Jakuu.

Now we know that force awakens takes place around 12 years after episode 6. So that makes Ray about 19-20. Which fits lore wise.

Knowing that they both are English with similar facial feature. Rays first ability is force insight. Same as Galen.

Likewise Galen was made to be 4X stronger then anakin skywalker. That could explain why ray is so OP in the trilogy.

Not related. Galen Marek is from legends, the better canon.
Rey is from current canon. She’s OP because Kathleen Kennedy hates men

Those are just flashy on-the-nose gimmicks. Simply because a more obscure character has something like that doesn't necessarily mean that they'll be more unique than one who does not. Prior to Battlefront 2015 Dengar didn't seem like anything special to me, but with a fun skillset and a great voice actor he quickly became a top notch character in my eyes, solely because of the game.

Whoever they go with please for the love of God just no more lightsabers

That's ridiculous cos Disney announced that all content outside of PT OT ST Clone Wars Animated, Rebels at the point of take over was not considered canon.

This means all Extended Universe is not canon. Also ST changed what happened after ROTJ in any other source of content period. Just because it has not been mentioned doesn't mean it can be considered canon.

I’m hoping for no more heroes if it means DICE/EA will actually give us more general content like new maps! It seems like we have to pick and choose based on their limited budget and supposed time constraints.
